Do you want to win $1,000 and earn the title of the greenest high school in the Northeast? We thought so!

ACE and National Grid Foundation are kicking off the Green Dependence Day Challenge in Albany this week, presenting the award-winning and free ACE Assembly to approximately 1,500 students at Albany High School, Schenectady High School and Cobleskill Richmondville High School.

The contest is simple: get your Action Team cranking through carbon-reducing projects, anything from starting that much-needed recycling program to installing building energy efficiency retrofits. The Action Teams that complete the greatest number, and scope, of climate-related projects will move onto the final round in the fall.
